A lot of genre fiction in those days has some unpleasantly sexist elements, and as a female gamer myself I sort of want to read about some kick-butt heroines to identify with. And the Lieber seal of approval is definitely a plus!Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-52530102941618811712012-10-23T09:35:49.015-04:002012-10-23T09:35:49.015-04:00You are correct.

Never read the original stories about her, though - sounds like they&#39;re worth tracking down.Andrew Staplesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-50900379062346494882012-10-22T23:18:42.156-04:002012-10-22T23:18:42.156-04:00Thanks for sharing about Alyx the Pickpocket.

Not to quibble with you, but it&#39;s worth mentioning that PoP was published as a novel. You&#39;ll have to look through used bookstores as it&#39;s sadly out of print, but totally worth it. Awesome, awesome book.Hitdicenoreply@blogger.com
